If triangle abc is similar to def
That means all angles are the same and sides will be multiplied by some factor x. So AB(x)= DE
8x=24
Therefore x =3
Now BC=EF/x
BC=42/3
BC= 14
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines l and m are the parallel lines and 't' is a transversal line,
Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠5 [Corresponding angle postulate]
∠5 ≅ ∠7 [Vertical angles theorem]
∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Transitive property]
Therefore, ∠1 ≅ ∠7 [Alternate exterior angles theorem]
Answer:
Other diagonal is 8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
area of rhombus = 72 m²
½ × diagonal 1 × diagonal 2 = 72
½ × 18 × d2 = 72
9 × d2 = 72
d2 = 72/9
d2 = 8
Look at the picture.
Use the Pythagorean theorem:


substitute

Answer: 
9/16+ 1/2
= 9/16+ (1*8) / (2*8)
= 9/16+ 8/16 (common denominator is 16)
= (9+8)/16
= 17/16
= (16+1)/16
= 16/16+ 1/16
= 1+ 1/16
= 1 1/16
The final answer is 1 1/16~
